The in vitro activities of three newly developed quinolone drugs (T-3262, NY-198, and fleroxacin [AM-833; RO 23-6240]) against 10 strains of clinically isolated Chlamydia trachomatis were assessed...
Kataoka, M, Li, H, Arakawa, S, Kuramitsu, H
A gene, dmcA, expressing a methyl-accepting chemotaxis protein (MCP) from the oral spirochete Treponema denticola has been characterized. The gene was initially identified as an open reading frame...

Sparfloxacin was more potent than other quinolones (tosufloxacin, lomefloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, fleroxacin, enoxacin, and norfloxacin) and as potent as minocycline and doxycycline in...
Cloning and sequence analysis of a chymotrypsinlike protease from Treponema denticola.
A clone expressing a Treponema denticola chymotrypsinlike protease from recombinant plasmid pSA2 was identified in a genomic library of T. denticola ATCC 35405. Nucleotide sequencing of the insert...
C-terminal topology of gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase.
Asano, S, Arakawa, S, Hirasawa, M, Sakai, H, Ohta, M, Ohta, K, ...
An antibody was prepared against a peptide corresponding to residues 1024-1034 (the putative C-terminus) of the alpha-subunit of hog gastric H+,K(+)-ATPase. The antibody bound to a 95 kDa band of...

Expression patterns of CD44 adhesion molecule in testicular germ cell tumors and normal testes.
Miyake, H., Hara, I., Yamanaka, K., Gohji, K., Arakawa, S., Kamidono, S.
Despite recent extensive immunohistochemical studies, the expression patterns of CD44 in testicular germ cell tumors are still controversial. In the present study, we investigated the CD44 gene...

Objectives: Decreasing susceptibility of Neisseria gonorrhoeae to fluoroquinolones has been reported in several countries. Knowledge of local N gonorrhoeae susceptibilities to various antimicrobials...
Overexpression of Bcl-2 enhances metastatic potential of human bladder cancer cells
Miyake, H, Hara, I, Yamanaka, K, Gohji, K, Arakawa, S, Kamidono, S
We investigated the effect of Bcl-2 expression on the metastatic process of bladder cancer cells by using the Bcl-2-transfected human bladder cancer cell lines (KoTCC-1/BH) and the control vector...
